Style Snippets

Jane's Jottings

Hello {!firstname}

This month I've had the pleasure and privilege of having an opera singer (a tenor) as a client. I'm hoping to add him to my Makeover Gallery soon.  Part of what he wanted to achieve was to identify and build his personal brand. So, part of my preparation for his session involved researching what's involved in personal branding.

This fits in well with identifying and developing personal style expression. I've been thinking a lot about this recently and how to make it more accessible for my clients and readers. You'll find more about these topics below.

Enjoy this month's Style Snippets. Until next month, all the best

Developing Style

One of the things I love to help my clients with is identifying and developing their personal style expression or style personality, as it's also called.

After learning the style basics of colors and how to dress to flatter for your body shape, you start mastering them by reviewing your current wardrobe.

The next step in your style journey is to work on your style personality. What clothing styles express you and reflect how you want the world to see you?

There's another, more holistic, term I've been hearing a lot recently in the image consulting industry: personal branding. In particular it's used in the context of career development and small business owners. However, it applies just as well to creating your leisure time image.
